It is not surprising that parents and caregivers play a critical role in helping their child adjust to a “new normal” following the death of a loved one. One of the most challenging aspects of assisting a child after a death is that the caregivers themselves are usually grappling with their own personal grief reactions at the same time. The reality is that observing one’s own child in emotional distress is extremely painful under most circumstances, but bearing witness to this emotional pain within the context of a death can greatly add to the sorrow and devastation that a bereaved caregiver is likely already experiencing. In addition, it is often hard for caregivers to separate their own intense emotions from those of their child. This tendency can predispose caregivers to believe that their child’s experiences are similar to their own. However, members of the same family can grieve in very different ways as a result of many contributing factors.
